Subordinating Conjunctions -- Pass-Along Story
Subordinating Conjunctions Activity (You need a piece of lined paper and your list of subordinating conjunctions.)
Write part of a story that will end up using all of the subordinating conjunctions: A WHITE BUS
This is a continued story in which one person begins the story with a sentence or part of a sentence that contains a subordinating conjunction, then passes the story to the next person to be continued with another sentence or part of a sentence that contains a subordinating conjunction.
Each person will begin a story. Put your name by what you write.
Pass the paper on. Each time you write, you will use one of the subordinating conjunctions.
Use the subordinating conjunctions in "A WHITE BUS" order.
When the story is finished, it should come back to the person who began it.
When the story is finished, it should come back to the person who began it.
Example:
After the last school dance was over,
(next student) while the students still lingered in the gymnasium, Jill fell in love with Jack.
(next student) However, Jack was already in love with Mary
(next student) and wanted to go steady with her if she would agree.
(next student) Jack had noticed that Mary had been kinder to him than Jill had ever been,
(next student) even though he had known Jill longer.
(next student) Before the evening was through, Jill told Jack that she would never talk to him again
(next student) unless he told Mary to leave him alone.
(next student) Since Jack loved Mary, he told Jill that very thing.
